Jingle Bells Christmas Card

This is an 8x8in white easel card. I have matt and layered the top and bottom with red and white embossed card. I embossed the white card using a Tattered Lace embossing folder. I printed the manuscript that I found on the internet. I tied red ribbon around the paper and added a bow. I die cut  the musical element using a die by Yvonne Creations. I cut the main element in black and added the green on top for the holly and brown for the robins. I added Tonic Nuvo drops for the berries. I die cut the poinsettia with Tattered Lace dies. I cut the Jingle Bells with a Tonic die in green and red and created a drop shadow while attaching them to my card. 

On the bottom of my card I have attached die cut rectangles with foam pads so they will act as a stopper. The white rectangle will include a personalised sentiment closer to Christmas. Finally I added carol singers that were  cut with a Brittania die.

Church Window Christmas Card

Firstly I embossed a piece of tan card using a Crafters Companion dry stone wall embossing folder. I inked over the top of the embossing with a black ink pad. 

I matt and layered my 8x8in white card with red card and then the tan embossed card, I rounded the corners of both these layers with a punch. I die cut the church window with a Memory Box die in black and then backed it onto cream card before cutting around it. I die cut the holly flourish with a Cheery Lynn die, the candles with a Marianne die and the poinsettia with a Tattered Lace die. I then assembled all the elements together.

I then die cut the sentiment in red using a Elizabeth Craft Designs die, I added that to my card along with a poinsettia. I completed my card with pearl embellishments

Heart Card

This card is for my DT post over at http://movingalongwiththetimes.blogspot.co.uk/

I have made this card in preparation for an engagement card. I will personalise it when I have been given the details. 

The embossing folders and heart die I have used are all by Tattered Lace. I have matt and layered my card with pink then white card. On the bottom section of the card I have used white embossed card. I have added the die cut heart. I then added satin ribbon across the top section of the embossing. I then added flat backed pearls. 

When I know the size of the sentiment I will pick a shaped die from a nesting set to cut the printed  sentiment and the next size up in pink to layer the sentiment.

Hedgehog Birthday Card

Bauble Christmas Card

I don't usually emboss with coloured card but after crafting with a friend last night and watching her do it I decided to give it a go for my project today.

I have embossed gold card with a Crafts Too embossing folder. I matt and layered my 8x8in white card with red card and then the gold embossed card. I die cut the baubles using Spellbinders dies. I embossed the bauble elements with a Tattered Lace embossing folder. I die cut the poinsettia with a Marianne die and cut the scalloped ovals with Go Kreate dies. I assembled my card. I have attached the white scalloped oval with white tac for display purposes because I will print a personalised sentiment closer to Christmas and die cut it to put in it's place. I have embellished my card with ribbon from my stash with an embellishment from Chloe Creative Cards. I have added a pearl on the poinsettia and Tonic Nuvo drops on the embossing.

Arsenal supporter wedding card

I was asked to make another card for the Arsenal supporter.

I have used a 8x8in card and folded the top to make an easel card and cut into the crease with a Tonic Header die. I matt and layered the top and bottom of the card with red card and white embossed card. I embossed the white card with a Creative Expressions embossing folder. 

I printed a personalised sentiment and die cut it with a Spellbinders die and added a red scalloped heart die cut with a Sizzix die.  I die cut the ornate die using a Spellbinders die. On the bottom of the card I have attached a couple cut with a Cheery Lynn die. scalloped ovals cut with Sizzix dies, sentiment cut with a Sue Wilson die. I attached the red heart with foam pads so it will act as the stopper for the easel. I printed a small Arsenal badge that I found on the internet and added that to the bottom of the  card. I completed my card with gems.

Golden Wedding Anniversary Card

I made this A4 card using the Tattered Lace book die. I used gold and white card alternatively. I embossed the white layers with a Crafts Too embossing folder. I slightly curved the layers with a rolling pin. I printed a personalised sentiment and die cut it with a Go Kreate scalloped oval die. I then cut the next size oval in the nesting set in gold card to mount the white oval. I then attached this to one side of the card. I die cut ovals in the same way for the other side of the card, this time adding numbers cut with Tattered Lace dies. I die cut the bookmark with gold and white card again embossing the white card. I die cut the congratulation in gold using a Sue Wilson die and added that to the bookmark. I embellished the card with flat backed pearls and flowers.

I made a box using the Big Score. I then cut an aperture and added acetate. Finally I added large corners cut with a Spellbinder die.
